EdgeNet is the Regional Studies Association research network on peripheral places and regions. We are an international and interdisciplinary research network focused on peripheral regions­, and why they matter. EdgeNet aims to advocate and amplify impactful research on the diverse places that are ‘non-core’ or on the ‘edge’ of core activities, including but not limited to rural, peri-urban, post-industrial, de-populating, and remote areas.

The Regional Studies Association is a registered charity (No. 1084165) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (No. 4116288).

That too many places have not mattered for too long calls for 'edgy' new research on, from, and for peripheral places and regions. Join us!
